A24 Set to Release Kevin Smith's Latest Next Year; Company Says Film Will 'Blow People's Minds'

A24 will distribute Kevin Smith’s latest, “TUSK.” Currently in production, the “modern-day monster movie,” written by Smith, stars Justin Long, Michael Parks and Genesis Rodriguez. A24 plans to release the film wide late next year.

“We had the privilege of visiting Kevin on the ‘TUSK’ set and seeing some
of his early footage,” said A24 in a statement. “We can say with certainty that this movie will
blow people’s minds. Truly one you’ll have to see to believe.”

Added Smith, “I’m as happy as the day Miramax bought ‘Clerks’ back in ’94! We’re so lucky A24
fell in love with our walrus picture and jumped in the pool with us. I
was a big fan of how they released ‘The Bling Ring’ and ‘Spring Breakers,’ so I was praying ‘TUSK’ would take root there. If anyone knows how to
bring this flick to the masses, it’s them!”

Here’s the synopsis per A24:

TUSK
follows Wallace (Long) a journalist on a mission. He finds the story of
a lifetime in Mr. Howe (Parks), a worldwide adventurer with amazing
tales and a curious penchant for walruses.
